Eijkman Merged Into BRIN, PPP Gives Warning: Researchers Should Not Be Wasted

JAKARTA - PPP also highlighted the merger of the Eijkman Institute for Molecular Biology (LBM) into the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN). The reason is, this fusion is considered to be sinking the world of research in the country.

Moreover, there are hundreds of researchers and staff at Eijkman whose status has changed and are threatened with layoffs.

Secretary of the DPR RI PPP faction, Achmad Baidowi, warned that researchers could still be accommodated to continue developing the world of research.

"In the future, how to provide certainty to the researchers. Now, researchers must still be accommodated, lest they be wasted," said Baidowi, Monday, January 3.

Even if they are merged, the chairman of the PPP DPP hopes that the presence of BRIN can strengthen research in Indonesia, which so far has been lacking support from the government.

"The merger is a consequence of the presence of BRIN as an institution in charge of research. The presence of BRIN must also strengthen research practices," said Awiek.

Previously, Head of the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) Laksana Tri Handoko explained the dismissal of a number of scientists at the Eijkman Institute after being integrated into BRIN.

Eijkman itself was officially integrated into BRIN in September 2021. The institution has also changed its name to the Eijkman Center for Molecular Biology Research (PRBM). After the integration, it was reported that more than 100 Eijkman scientists were fired without severance pay.

"Yes, of course it's not true. Except for those who don't want to choose one of our options. Of course we can't force it either," said Laksana, Sunday, January 2.
